On CAPS, 96% of the 619 members who have rated McKesson believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those Fools, huddaman, tapped McKesson as a particularly solid long-term selection:

[McKesson's] growth has been slow over last 5 years. Not as good or anywhere near the historic company performance. ... However, their ROIC and ROE are [very high], and they are using excess cash to buy back shares. Shares outstanding down from [306M in 2006] to [236M today]. That's really incredibly awesome. The stock no wonder grew approx 100% between 2006 and today (with dividends). They can repeat this performance again.

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, McKesson may not be your top choice.
